Responding to criticism from the left-wing watchdog site Media Matters, Fox News Channel management says it “addressed” a “mistake” by a news anchor who asked her Twitter followers to weigh in on a claim by an insider in Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign that the Obama camp threatened Chelsea Clinton’s life if her parents exposed what they knew about Obama’s presidential eligibility.

Media Matters, which has ridiculed any challenge to Obama’s eligibility, announced last year a campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against Fox News. The network has rarely covered the eligibility issue, however.

According to Media Matters, after the publication of its initial post on Childers, she tweeted that Fox News anchors “present both sides but people see what they want.” She concluded: “Here’s the thing folks… that ONE topic sure got alot [sic] of you tweeting. Why? I apologize if the article offended anyone. Very interesting.”

Politico reported Media Matters’ shift one year ago “from media critic to a new species of political animal” when it “declared war on Fox News.”

The George Soros-funded organization decided to narrow its focus to the network and a small number of conservative websites that it regarded as the “nerve center” of the conservative movement.

In WND’s story, Viviano cited a campaign staffer who was close to Hillary Clinton, whose name she requested be withheld for security reasons. Viviano had an insider’s view of the campaign through her production of a documentary on alleged voter fraud by the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

The Hollywood producer said that staffer told her on two different occasions, a couple of years apart, that the murder of Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Bill Gwatney just before the party's convention in 2008 was a message to Bill Clinton.

"I was told by this person that that was 'Shut up, Bill, or you're next,'" Viviano said.

The campaign staffer, according to Viviano, said that despite the intimidation and threats, Bill Clinton was prepared to speak out about Obama's eligibility
